Please stop top-posting it makes the conversation hard to follow [1].

No, that is not expected. I imagine you have some incorrect settings.
You should just have one compiler flags entry. I would delete the two
you have and start from scratch. There could be instructions on the
internet that contradict this but here's what worked for me in Code::Blocks:

Build options > Compiler settings > Compiler Flags > New Flag:

Name: curl static
Compiler flags: -DCURL_STATICLIB
Linker flags: -lcurl -lcrypt32 -lwldap32 -lws2_32
Leave everything else as the default

Build options > Linker settings: There should be no curl entry in 'Link
libraries'

Build options > Search directories > Compiler: C:\foo\curl-7.51.0\include

Build options > Search directories > Linker: C:\foo\curl-7.51.0\lib

Now when you build if you look at the verbose output in the build log it
should look like this:

mingw32-gcc.exe -Wall -DCURL_STATICLIB -g -IC:\foo\curl-7.51.0\include
-c C:\foo\testproj\Test\main.c -o obj\Debug\main.o
mingw32-g++.exe -LC:\foo\curl-7.51.0\lib -o bin\Debug\Test.exe
obj\Debug\main.o -lcurl -lcrypt32 -lwldap32 -lws2_32

If it still won't work then include the build log output in your reply.
